While Google allows you to search just specific sites, it will only allow you to search the parent directory that the GEO site is in on the UMass server, i.e. you cannot specifically search just GEO. The Google search on all pages on the GEO site, cannot thus search exclusively the GEO pages, hence the asterisk, it will instead searching all of the personal sites for faculty, staff, students and student organizations located on this server: www.people.umass.edu

We have kept this function because it means wee can still offer you a direct link to Google from our pages, and because for most of likely keywords you would search for on the GEO site are unlikely to come up elsewhere on this server. To ensue you search only the GEO pages, you could of course enter “GEO” in as a term in your search to at least ensure that those results will be amongst the first to be found.

Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
